This package is heavily inspired by TeMPOraL’s nyan-mode and dp12’s parrot. Following the same principle, this package offers you yet another animated companion to brighten up the day and decorate your boring modeline. Except this time it’s Bongo Cat!
The package is not yet available on MELPA, thus the only way to install it currently is by either
cloning this repository and adding bongocat.el to your load-path.
Alternatively users of straight.el may use something like this:
(straight-use-package
'(bongocat
:type git
:host github
:repo "alxndrv/bongocat-mode"
:files "*"))Upon installation, this mode can be toggled on and off (why?) by simply invoking the following;
(bongocat-mode)That’s it! You now have your own little Bongo Cat hitting the modeline to the rhythm of your keyboard inputs! And that truly is it, this package offers no actual functionality. But once you have your own Bongo Cat, do you need anything else?
Both TeMPOraL’s nyan-mode and dp12’s parrot played a big part in the creation of this package, both as a source of inspiration and a great reference when it comes to the implementation. You should check both of them out!
